I attended the NBA Draft at MSG as I always do. When the 1st round ends more than half of the audience leaves. I got out of my seat and went to the lobby for a drink and to stretch my legs. Who do I meet in the lobby? Craig Sager in another one of his flaming suits! Craig noticed the hoard of people leaving the theater, and the convo went like this: CRAIG: Hey, why are so many people leaving? ME: This happens every year. Everyone leaves after the first round. Craig: Oh, we're up to the second round already? ME: Yeah. CRAIG: They're right, who gives a ****?! lol Then I snapped this pic of my nephew on the right and my friend on the left.
haha that was definitely a cool story. sounds like something sager would say. its always interesting to hear about these guys off camera. they seem to be polar opposite without a camera on them.
Craig Sager must be awesome in real life, then. He has always come across as a complete tool to me when he interviews players. The players seem to have the same sentiment as well. Most recently, I remember him interviewing Steve Nash during warm-ups. He kept asking Nash more and more questions until Nash got fed up and said, "What is this??? 20 questions??? I've gotta warm up for the game, cmon!" I think it would be interesting to see a poll of NBA players on what they think of the toolness of Sager. I think it would be overwhelmingly not in his favor. Cool story, though! :grin:

I read the title but thought of Craig Kilborn instead of Sager. But then Craig Kilborn and ensuing hilarity is an IMPOSSIBILITY, so I corrected myself right before I read the thread.
Sager buys 5 years worth at a time. Also, the material is cheap. Leftovers from the color changing t-shirt fad of the 90s.
